Narf's Mod: Almost done shredding the Facility.txt. Basic stuff only.

[spoon]

I think he means rather than have specific research areas (such as Missiles and Computers), he is going to have ~ 20 generic areas. Each generic area represents a "play style" and returns all sorts of tech that relate to that play style. For example, if you research the "Superiority In Numbers" tech area, you will get cheap hulls, engines, and weapons that are fragile or otherwise limited in effectiveness. If you research down the "I Like Big Explosions" tech area, you might get great weapons, but crappy infrastructure

Note that this is just my guess, as the mind of the Cheese is not easily navigated, not even with a Spoon.

Edit: on second reading, nevermind - this doesn't answer the question that was asked!

umm, yeah, right..

well, actually, i'm going to have a number of very specific tech areas. like 'long range missiles'. 'reaction engines'. what's reaction engines? small size, good speed, lot's of supplies used. combine that with long range missiles and you've got defence ships that can missile dance slower ships to death.

ok...attempt at an english Version.
for the first tech level, the rate of increase is 0%. second, 10%. thus, the size of the item is 100+10%. and the effectiveness is 100+10%+10%. at the third level, the ROI is 20%. so, size 100+20%. effectiveness 100+20%+20%. so, for each tech level above 1, the ROI increases by 10%. IF tech advancement is 10%. if it's twenty, third level ROI 40%,size 100+40%, effectiveness 100+40%+40%.

uh, english enough?
*hopes*

how come nobody understands me when i get technical?

um...effectiviness go up by 5%/10%/20% per tech level?

Then their happiness would always be increasing.
How about something like Adamant Mod's "Stoic" happiness type - there is little effect from either positive or negative events, sort of like a partial Emotionless?

you guys do discussions with page, page and a half, 2 page Posts and you can't understand one paragraph from me????

Is there going to be cheese and giant mice involved?

Anyway as for your question, i think it's to early to tell what will be a good settings for the advancement percentages. You will have to play test it to balance it out. I would go for 10% but as i said, the effectiveness of this will depend on how fast people can build these cheap units.

Keep in mind that happiness file was made by someone else, possible Krsqk or Jourin. I need to find out at some point...
